Captain Dave Amsterdam boat tours stand out for their relaxed, non-scripted approach, with personable guides who share entertaining stories and local insights. Each tour includes plenty of refreshments, and the boat itself is a historical gem, adding to the overall experience.

We offer a variety of canal tours in Amsterdam, with each cruise designed to provide a personal and unique experience. Our key options:

1. Early Morning Cruise (8:00 AM: This peaceful 90-minute tour takes advantage of the quiet canals in the early morning, offering beautiful views of Amsterdam as it wakes up. The small group size (up to 12 people) ensures a relaxed and intimate experience. Complimentary drinks like coffee, tea, and Frisian sugar bread are included.
2. Morning Cruise (10:00 AM): A slightly later version of the early morning cruise, but still serene and ideal for those who prefer a later start to their day. It includes coffee, tea, and Frisian sugar bread and similar scenic views.
3. Cruise Like a Local: This 90-minute tour, available in the afternoon or evening, lets you experience the city as locals do, with a flexible route and open bar featuring Heineken, wine, and soft drinks. It’s an entertaining and informative cruise, perfect for learning about Amsterdam’s history while relaxing on a luxurious 1928 saloon boat.
4. Private Boat Tour:: Ideal for groups of friends, families, or colleagues, this customizable option allows you to rent the boat for a private cruise. The boat can host up to 12 people, and you can tailor the experience with snacks, drinks, and flexible routes.
